Ramona Injury

Last Wednesday Ramona and I were throwing an American football around out in the dirt street with some of the neighbouring kids before dark. They are 6-12 yrs old probably and full of enthusiasm. Some can manage quite a throw. Ramona went to catch a good throw and caught it on her little left finger first. She said ouch then a few seconds later said "I need help". Her little finger was sticking out sideways, it appeared to have been dislocated at the first joint up from the knuckle. I thought this has to go back in now as we are a long way from anywhere for real medical help. So I pulled on the finger and it dropped back into place thankgoodness and Ramona could immediately bend it as normal. She is quite brave indeed while I was cringing. The next few days the joints turned purple then that faded back to normal. It is still a little swollen however between the knuckle and that first joint.
